I Cannot use old 'hidden' models

[MonPetitPote]

Hello guys. I try to use the beta model of ballista in WE. When I paste the path of the balista (or catapult), the little preview screen shows that it works. However, in-game, it is replaced by new ones. I've just noted that there isn't difference between old or new pathes, just capital letters. Anything better to do ?
Thanks for help

hmm maybe replacing the old one and change the letters to capital that they will fit?
normally it should work, as youdescriped, that you can see the unit in the preview.. I don't think that there's something wrong with the paths directly..

Its like the normal Wc3... There are diffrent listfiles for World Editor and Wc3.
If you select Ability - OrbOfLightning Missle you might switch to Missle - LightningMissle.
Same way the other side. Its wc3.

Or maybe they have the same path. Because they are located in two
different .mpq

The old one is in war3.mpq and the new one in war3x.mpq. And since warcraft
first will look in the war3x.mpq it will use the new one.
(same as the orc catapult)

If im right, the only way is to export the model from the .mpq and import it
to your map.

NOTE Im no 100% sure

Go to the units properties then double click "art - model file - extra versions" and then check the reign of chaos box and that should do it.
